Give Me Five combines the carefully documented story of a Florida youth group's efforts to save a dying lake with a lively, fictional subplot of mystery and personal growth. Join Jordy, his older brother, and friends as they navigate the trials and successes of working to restore Lake Apopka. Immersed in adventure, they learn important lessons about friendship, science, and what it means to take part in a noble mission. Jordy's struggle for self-esteem in the midst of peer pressure and the novel's fast-paced story line will entertain young readers while increasing their awareness of environmental issues. Twelve-year-old Jordy is on a collision course with his siblings and his own appetite for adventure in this first-in-a-series title. Apopka has been waiting for years for a savior--people willing to snatch it from the jaws of slow death by pollution. Young readers will identify with Jordy through his setbacks and triumphs against all odds. He challenges each of us to get involved in a cause that can really make a difference! Reviews of Charlene Hudgins Klima's Childrens' Books: Give Me Five: "A clever teaching tool that combines well-documented information with a plot and story line designed to appeal to the young reader. The story of Lake Apopka is the result of careful research, but the parallel events are pure fiction with a big taste of mystery and intrigue." Andrew C. Bailey, publisher, West Orange Times Cherry Point: "Charlene Hudgins Klima has combined a factual account of island life with fictional subplots to create mystery and adventure in her new book. The reader will indeed find many of their own wonderful recollections of Gwynn's Island and Cherry Point whether born here, a "come here," or just a fortunate visitor stumbling upon a closely knit maritime community so rich in history." - Jean Tanner, Curator, Gwynn's Island Museum |
